How To Start Writing on Medium in 2026 (and Actually Get Paid)
I still remember the first $2.31 I made from the Medium Partner Program. Not the first $100 month or the first “viral” story. That strange little $2.31 on a piece I almost didn’t publish. I stared at that green number like it had opened a side door into another life.

The Library of Lost Things
The rain didn’t just fall in Oakhaven; it sighed. It was the kind of gray, relentless drizzle that made you want to stay inside and count your regrets. I found myself standing in front of a building I’d passed a thousand times but never truly noticed: a narrow storefront with a peeling wooden sign that read The Library of Lost Things.

Is the American Caregiver Association Legit?
Many people search online to find clear and honest information about the American Caregiver Association. This question is natural because caregiver training can affect work choices, income, and the safety of loved ones at home. Before joining any program, families and caregivers want to know if an organization is real, trustworthy, and useful for their situation.

What is the Difference?
I just thought of this article from the idea of my previously published drabble of future writing projects. What is the difference between old-school typewriting and keyboarding. In a keyboarding class do they still make the students use correct posture, fingers on homerow, how to figure margins and such beginning skills of beginning typists? Do they have Timed writings for speed and accuracy? How many of us who had Typing in school remember when having these one-minute, three-minute or five-minute writings to make sure of proper finger placement, proper posture with feet flat on the floor and the teacher walking up and down the aisle making sure.

Writing plans coming up
This is a quick drabble of my upcoming writing articles. First coming attractions in my opinion are a lot of book blurbs of old and new books that I have read, but not complete reviews just to create possible interest. Another idea I had was to offer in this day and age of keyboarding some typing lessons from an old typing textbook I had in high school. Also, I am planning on writing more of my Alphabet stories, as well as more of my art colorings for I just bought a new Bible coloring book. I hope you share thoughts.

Writing for the attention span
I've just started to write a story. Not this one. A fiction. I am often contemplating now why I write on Vocal: do I have a message? Sometimes. Is it for the joy? Always. Is it for engagement? Maybe, depending on what form that engagement takes.

Tupac Was My Father. Content Warning.
Written by Xavier D. Prue on March 7, 2026 B.X. As a troubled youth who grew up without his parents, I imagined the legendary Tupac Shakur as my father! Raised by the rap lyrics coming out the speakers of my boombox, I see 2Pac as my first male role model. I grew up in a violent neighborhood on the lower-income side of Norwich, Connecticut, called the West Side where Dad was just a foreign word. Immediately following his murder in 1996 on the Las Vegas strip, Tupac became the connection that my peers and I related to every time we heard him scream “West Side” in his songs. Just two simple words, but it was a statement that made us feel we weren’t forgotten. I want to touch lives in the same manner that ‘Pac did and it inspired me to develop a Creative Arts center that will help the youth turn their ambitions into reality.

Turning the Ephemeral into the Concrete
Some experiences feel real while they are happening and unreal almost immediately afterward. A conversation that sparks clarity, a realization that reframes a problem, a moment where scattered thoughts suddenly align. In the moment, there is a sense that something solid has been grasped. But without capture, that solidity dissolves. What remains is a faint impression, detached from the reasoning that made it meaningful. The experience was real, but it left no durable trace.
